yep and even if you use BP you should not have to swab between shots and if it takes you 45 min to clean up the gun ? All I can say is Wow
IMO one should get in the habit of cleaning the gun up after shooting anyway . doesn�t mater if it a BP gun or a center fire


When I was a newby, yeah, it probably took me that long. After shooting two of my guns Friday afternoon, it probably took me 15 minutes total to clean both guns, but he will have a learning curve just like for shooting.

He needs to probably watch a video on how to load and shoot or have an experienced shooter teach him. If you aren't paying attention, it is not that hard to double load powder or bullet and can lead to some disatrous results. Don't mean to scare you, but it certainly is not just loading a shell and pulling the trigger.
